interesting Lexicon thing has been happening lately

Hey, just thought I'd throw this past all of you and get reactions:

Lately, several times a day, the Lexicon has been visited by someone 
from Electronic Arts. As we all know, they're the ones doing the 
online and computer games which promise to allow users/players to 
more fully explore the universe of Harry Potter. I have to admit that 
my initial reaction to these plans was that it would seriously mess 
up the vision that we have from the books themselves -- they would 
frankly be inventing a LOT of things for themselves and I really 
don't like the idea of Electronic Arts creating "official" Harry 
Potter information. 

But they're using the Lexicon, it would seem. So does that mean that 
they're honestly trying to be true to the books? Or am I just saving 
them time and money on research and should I be billing them? And 
what are the chances that I get credit for any of this on the games?
